        //   16 — never appeared before. Pure cold. Unpickable.
        //   34 — appeared ep4. Gap=4 at ep9. Cold.
        //   39 — never appeared before. Pure cold. Unpickable.
        //   42 — appeared eps 4,6. Gap=2 at ep9. My v11 did NOT pick 42 — I had demoted it
        //        after ep8 to surface 43. But 43 didn't draw in ep9 either.
        //
        //   Critical observation: ep9 had FOUR brand-new numbers (3, 14, 16, 39) — numbers
        //   that had never appeared in 8 previous draws. This is statistically notable.
        //   Out of 9 draws × 6 numbers = 54 total draws, with 49 possible numbers, the
        //   "cold" vs "seen" distribution is shifting. At n=9, 36 distinct numbers have
        //   appeared, leaving only 13 numbers that have NEVER been drawn. Those 13 cold
        //   numbers hit at a rate of 4/6 = 66.7% of ep9's draw — an extreme cold episode.
        //
        //   The implication: my zone-based strategy with frequency weighting is systematically
        //   under-selecting cold numbers. If cold numbers hit at 4/6 in ep9, maybe I should
        //   include at least 1–2 "long cold" numbers from zones where cold numbers cluster.
        //
        //   However: n=9 is still small. One cold-dominated episode is weak evidence of a
        //   structural pattern. I will not overreact, but I will add a modest cold-number
        //   bonus for numbers that have NEVER appeared in the draw history.
        //
        // Frequency table after ep9 (raw counts, sorted by frequency):

        //   The model should resolve it by score. Let me ensure both are weighted fairly.
        //
        // v12 changes vs v11:
        //   1. Add cold-number bonus: numbers that have NEVER appeared in draw history
        //      receive a small flat bonus of 0.20. This is a first-order correction for
        //      the systematic under-representation of cold numbers in my predictions.
        //      Caveat: this is a 1-episode signal; I'm weighting it lightly.
        //   2. Frequency scale factor: 13.0 → 12.5 (modest reduction to tighten the spread
        //      between 42 and 43 in zone 6, so recency and raw-freq bonuses matter more).
        //   3. Recency tier 1 weight: 0.40 → 0.45 (ep9 confirms gap=0 numbers are frequent;
        //      42 at gap=0 should have strong elevation in zone 6).
        //   4. Recency tier 2 weight: 0.25 → 0.28 (modest bump; 43 at gap=1 should follow).
        //   5. High raw freq bonus threshold: keep at rawFreq >= (topFreq - 1) and >= 2.
        //      This will now include 42 (freq=3) and 43 (freq=4) both getting the bonus.
